•  With steam release valve and anti-block shield removed, 

clean interior of steam release pipe to prevent clogging.

•  To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, take the lid

handle and hold the lid vertically over a sink, then turn it
360°— like turning a steering wheel.

•  After cleaning, store the lid upside down on the cooker

base.

•  Store sealing ring in a well-ventilated area to decrease

residual odour from highly flavoured meals. To eliminate

odours, add 1 cup (250 mL) of water and 1 cup (250 mL) 
of white vinegar to inner pot and run Pressure Cook for
5-10 minutes, then QR pressure.

Inner Pot

•  Heavy hard water staining may require a vinegar

dampened sponge and some scrubbing to remove. 
If there is tough or burned food residue at the bottom, 
soak in hot water for a few hours for easy cleaning.

•  Wash after each use.
•  Ensure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing in 

cooker base.

*Some discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the cooker’s safety
or performance.
